Chriftiam tr V Christian.
Editor Journal: Considerable in
terest has been taken in the discussions
that have arisen from the refusal to cer-'
tain persons of the rites of Christian j
burial. This leads to the questions of !
what it ia that constitutes a Christian,
varying beliefs, fetishistio and otherwise,
and what constitutes the primal' in
nature. "
One belief is that matter is the primal
in nature. This is materialism. Is this
a fetishism? Another is that the sun ia
the primal. Is son worship a fetishism?
Then there is Swedenborgianism, one' of
the forma of hero worship.- Materialism
was advocated by Aristotle. He gave
ten attributes to matter. The names
may be found under the word category.
Later the number was reduced to five,
found under the word predicables. In
more modern times matter is said to
possess two attributes motion aud
gravity. This is molecularism. Then
the agnostic says be don't know. Again
mere is a dual oeiier Tnat the two
force and matter r.r the dual primal.
Substantialism is a form of this. The
distinction between molecularism and
substantialism is that the latter holds
that each exists and are real; while the
other holds that only matter is real, and
that motion and .gravity insists, that ia
exerted within the forms of matter but
do not go out
Again there is a trimurti of the Hin
doo myth of the Vedas consisting of
Brahma, Vishnu and Siva, forming
creator, preserver and destroyer, but
really a form of heat, gravity and cold.
In molecularism the moleculars of
matter are the primal, and possess, ex
erted within themselves, a molecular
force. In the unity of nature, the uni
verse ss a grand unicnle possesses a sim
ilar energy existing throughout its
whole that may form a unilocular ener
gy. There is a drift in later times to
hold to a unity in nature. While Budd
ha Guatama held that there was a power
existing throughout nature yet it was
held to be a non-sentient power. There
is a belief growing that Christ taught
that there was a power existing through
out nature but it was a prescient power.
This unity in nature holds that the
universe is a unit That outside space
is void. This power or energy acting in
continuous form and the forces arise.
Continuing in action and aggregation
and the micro atoms and atoms that
form the molecules of matter arise. Thus
the forms of matter are the forms of
energy; reaching the inorganic; then or
ganic; advancing from life to sensation,
the sentient, prescient and immortal.
Is this Christianity? He that believeth
and is baptized shall be saved, and he
that believeth shall not be condemned.
Does baptized mean the same as imbued?
Should any one be denied the rites of
christian burial? Man is uot the judge.
The uppermost problem in nature is
whether the power in nature is a sen
tient or non-sentient power?

Now is the Time
To Chicago aad the Eaxt.
Passengers going east for business, will
naturally gravitate to Chicago as the
great commercial center. Passengers
re-visiting friends or relatives in the
eastern states always desire to "take in"
Chicago en ronte. All clashes of passen
gers will find that the "Short Line" of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail
way, via Omaha and Council Bluffs,
affords excellent facilities to reach their
destinations in a manner that will be
sure to give the utmost satisfaction.
A reference to the time tables will in
dicate the route to be chosen, and, by
asking any principal agent west of the
Missouri river for a ticket over the
Chicago, Council Bluffs & Omaha Short
Line of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St
Paul Railway, yon will be cheerfully
furnished with the proper passport via
Omaha and Chicago. Please note that
all of the "Short Line" trains arrive in
Chicago in ample time to connect with
the ex press trains of all the great through
car lines to the principal eastern cities.
For additional particulars, time tables,
maps, etc., please call on or address F.

The King of Reference Works
THE NEW WCBHES EDITION OF
The Encyclopedia Britannica
The Pilot
knows just how to steer a vessel to
bring it safely through the shoals
and out into the open. Just so the
Encyclopaedia Britannica is the one
absolutely reliable guide for the
voyage of life. One cannot go
wrong if its teachings are followed.
It tells the mistakes men have made;
how others havesucceeded and why.
An intelligent man gets good from
the experiences of others and steers
clear of the rocks they ran against.
The very presence of the Encvclo-
piedia Britannica in a house gives the place an intellectual tone.
A library of thousands of volumes does not offer such an oppor
tunity for successful home study and development as this master
piece of literature. There is no more instructive reading on earth
than that contained in its 30 volumes. To a life whose current
runs toward the future, this great work is indispensable. Just
